You Want one dont ya ? you old farts.

You wont be able to text nearly as fast as your friends or your kids for
that matter but who cares.
youll be able to dial your Grandmas house with the old
exchange numbers like EAst 4-1212 and FRanklin 1275

Or even BR-549?

Maybe I should get one of those. At least I can read the dial and my fat fingers will only be dialing one number at a time.

We have an AT&T princess rotary dial phone we use for power outages... so far when the power goes out, the telephone still has power... I think the power is 50-70 v and bumps up to 100 when the phone rings... I can actually feed other devices off that phone line if I needed the power for small stuff like charging a cell phone, etc...

I don't see the cord? I think it's fake. :roll:

I was just talking the other day about how we splurged and spent $2.99/mo for "Three Way Calling", "Call Waiting" and "IDenta-Ring" (different ring for a fake second number for us kids). And then later paying an extra fee for Caller ID. :)

Now I can call anywhere, anytime from a phone that fits in my pocket, for free and talk 24 hours a day if I wanted. :)

yeah, I forward my land line to my cell anytime we are gone for more than an overnight. Sure makes it nice... Really confuses friends that recall us being gone and I answer from Las Vegas or where ever we are. Sometimes I ask, did you call my home or cell phone... that really gets them a bit confused...

Even before we started this move, we got rid of our land line and just maintained our cell numbers. I couldn't see any reason to have both. The Admiral talked a lot with her sisters. They lived in another town, not a long distance and not local, but a toll call. Toll calls are more expensive than long distance calls.
Started using cell so much that the land line just seemed like it was a waste of money. Of course you did loose that emergency source as the power for land lines comes from the phone company. But where we were living, the biggest natural distaster would have been earth qualkes and then most likely the phone lines would be down anyway.
